STAEDTLER Mixed Set #5 Floral Watercolour Set, 12 Pieces, 8 Double-Ended 3001 Brush Pens, Liner, Aquarell Pencil, Water Brush

The STAEDTLER Mixed Set #5 Floral Watercolour Set (61 3001-1) is a 12-piece illustration set with eight double-ended 3001 watercolour brush pens, for hobby painters, students and journalers who want to draw flowers and botanical motifs with watercolour effects without mixing paints.

A 308 pigment liner draws the contours, a Mars Lumograph aquarell graphite pencil adds shadows that blend with water, and the 949 water brush pulls the brush-pen colour into soft washes. STAEDTLER prints step-by-step instructions on the back of the box, so the set works as a guided first project.

• 8 × STAEDTLER 3001 double-ended watercolour brush pens, assorted colours
• 1 × STAEDTLER pigment liner 308
• 1 × STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph aquarell 100A watercolour graphite pencil
• 1 × STAEDTLER water brush 949
• 1 × STAEDTLER art eraser 526 B30
• Hanging cardboard gift box with window and step-by-step instructions on the back

• Outline petals and leaves with the 308 pigment liner, colour them with the brush tip of the 3001 pens, then soften the edges with the water brush.
• The aquarell graphite pencil draws like a normal pencil but its strokes dissolve with water into grey shadows, adding depth to the flowers.
• Eight colours give enough range for petals, leaves and backgrounds; colours can also be layered while wet.
• The step-by-step guide on the box helps beginners finish a first floral piece without extra tutorials.

• Thin printer paper — it will cockle and bleed.
• Large-area background washes like tube or pan watercolour — brush pens are best for motifs and illustrations.
• Waterproof results: the inks are water-soluble by design.
